Answers (1)

Answer:
                \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! x=2\: or\: 4\\y=4\: or\: 2\\z=-6\\w=4

Given:  \begin{bmatrix} xy &4 \\ z+6&x+y \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 8 &w \\ 0& 6 \end{bmatrix}    

Here we have to find the value of  x,y,z,w

Hint: Here we will use equality of matrices.

Solution:
\begin{bmatrix} xy &4 \\ z+6&x+y \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 8 &w \\ 0& 6 \end{bmatrix}

The corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, So

xy=8                                                                                                                                              ….. (i)

w=4                                                                                                                                                ….. (ii)

z+6=0                                                                                                                                          ….. (iii)

x+y=6                                                                                                                                          ….. (iv)

From equation (ii) and (iii) we get

z=-6  and w=4

From eqn (iv) we have,

x+y=6\Rightarrow x=6-y   

Substituting the value of x  in eqn (i), we get

\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \left ( 6-y \right )y=8\\\Rightarrow y^{2}-6y+8=0\\\Rightarrow \left ( y-2 \right )\left ( y-4 \right )=0\\\Rightarrow y=2 \: or\: 4

Substituting the value of y  in eqn (i), we get

x=4,2
Hence value of x,y,z,w  are  4,2;2,4;-6  and 4 respectively.
